Chapter 43: Who is the praying mantis and who is the cicada

Gongsun Zhongmou and Xu Beiyou left the county king Beppu in the early hours of the morning, and on the way, Xu Beiyou told in detail about his experience last night, especially the high-ranking official of the secret guard and the prince Xiao Shiluo in flying fish.

Gongsun Zhongmou is not surprised, to the level of Xiao Maha as a temple minister, used to most things in their hands, for the difficult to grasp Gongsun Zhongmou, it seems to be familiar, but in fact it is guarded, no matter how heavy the incense is, it is difficult to communicate with each other.

Xiao Maha is like this, and so is the Northeast Liao King.

The master and apprentice did not continue to stay in Dongcheng, and after returning to the Nancheng Inn to take Zhiyun, they went straight out of the gate of Dunhuang City in the morning light.

After leaving the city for about twenty miles, Xu Beiyou finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are we in a hurry to leave Dunhuang?"

Gongsun Zhongmou said calmly: "The Demon Suppression Hall and the Dark Guard Mansion are about to start. ”

Xu Beiyou was a little shocked, but he didn't ask how the master knew about the news. In his opinion, since the master can have a relationship with Xiao Maha and the others, it is by no means as foundationless as it appears to be, maybe there are also master's "old friends" in the Demon Suppression Hall and the Dark Guard Mansion.

From Gongsun Zhongmou's face, I can't see what he thinks in his heart, in fact, he himself doesn't have too much emotion, the "remnants of the Sword Sect" have been doing it for decades, and the wanted of the Demon Suppression Hall has been more than ten years, he himself has been in a state of chasing and counter-chasing, and the so-called tension and fear have long been gone, but the masters of the Demon Suppression Hall who are chasing him have been surrounded by these two emotions, after all, the person he is chasing and killing is the contemporary Sword Sect Master, and if he is not careful, he will die, and there is a great terror between life and death, and there are only a few who can face it calmly after all.

This time, the Dark Guard Mansion and the Demon Suppression Hall joined forces to hunt down, not the first time, and it will not be the last.

An hour after Xu Beiyou and Gongsun Zhongmou went out of the city, a carriage also went out of the city, and outside the car were two hundred Xiliang generals guarding the guards, with a solemn appearance and a roaring horse's hooves.

There were three people in the carriage, Lu Shen, the Wheel King and a blood armor.

Lu Shen opened the workshop and looked at the situation outside, and sneered: "Gongsun Zhongmou didn't hide his deeds, he is waiting for us to throw himself into the net." ”

The Wheel King leaned against the wall of the carriage and said casually: "Praying mantis catching cicadas, who is the praying mantis and who is the cicada?" Gongsun Zhongmou is a master, but he also has the problem of the Sword Sect, that is, he believes too much in the sword in his hand, and he is too self-righteous, and he always feels that with the sword in his hand, the world can be obtained. At that time, Emperor Taizu used the Secret Guard Mansion to weave a huge net that enveloped the world, and then taught the real person to put the Demon Suppression Hall as a spider on this web, and the two cooperated to hunt and kill flying insects, which was invincible. It's a pity that in recent years, the Daomen and the imperial court have been separated by two, and the spider has the skill of exterminating insects, but it can't catch flying insects. Today, you and I join forces, and there is no reason to miss. ”

Lu Shen sneered slightly: "If you and I could kill Gongsun Zhongmou, then Gongsun Zhongmou would have died a long time ago, and he wouldn't be able to walk around alive now." ”

The Wheel King's face became more and more pale, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Who said that you and I are going to kill Gongsun Zhongmou? We don't have that much ability, even if we do, it won't be our turn to receive this credit, we are just a part of this big web, and the spider has another person, for us, success is not necessarily killing, and failure is not necessarily not killing, as long as the goal is achieved, this is enough." ”

Lu Shen thought for a while, and then said with emotion: "The Wheel King is worthy of being the right-hand man of the King of Jizo, and I can't compare to this thought." ”

The Wheel King laughed and said: "What is not thoughtful, it is lucky to live a little longer, have a little understanding, know what to do and what not to do." ”

Lu Shen sighed, "We people, in the final analysis, have become chess pieces on the chessboard, and we can't help ourselves." ”

The pale ten fingers of the Wheel King crossed in front of him, and said slowly: "The world is like a chessboard, the Daomen and the imperial court are the people who play chess, the Central Plains and Jiangnan are where the big dragon is, and the northwest is in a corner, so it should not be involved in the battle for dragon slaying, but for some reason, the idle man of Chonglongguan has become the key to the battle for the corners, and the whole body is moved, so there is today's situation, in fact, you and I have long been chess pieces in the game, but I didn't realize it before." ”

Lu Shen lowered his head and acquiesced to the Wheel King's statement.

The king of the wheel continued: "This is the chess game of the court and the Daomen, our faction hopes to play a draw, your faction has to divide the winner and loser, in fact, no matter which one, there must be a premise, that is, the chess game must be within the rules, if the rules are exceeded, someone will inevitably take off the chessboard, from playing chess to a big fight, and finally both lose." ”

Lu Shen raised his head and said in a deep voice: "It will also make other people's fishermen profitable." ”

The Wheel King nodded in agreement, "Gongsun Zhongmou has seen through this, so he wants to be a spoiler, mess up the chess game, and let the imperial court and Daomen remove the chessboard, only in this way can he be able to revive the Sword Sect." ”

Lu Shen said in a low voice: "What a Gongsun Zhongmou, worthy of being the sect master of the Sword Sect. ”

The Wheel King wrote lightly: "Back then, the Sword Peak Peak Lord abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, rebelled from the Sword Sect, and slaughtered the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall with his own hands, only Tianchen Patriarch and Emperor Xiao knew about this matter in advance, and even Shangguan Xianchen did not expect it, but he was recognized by Gongsun Zhongmou, and escaped from Biyou Island early, avoiding the misfortune of death." Since then, I have known that he is very remarkable, if he was not born in the Sword Sect, but from the Dao Sect, he should be one of the chess players now. ”

Lu Shen was a little excited, if the world is like a chessboard, then now he is not far from the abandoned son. The guards have always been more cruel to traitors than to enemies.

Lu Shen felt physically and mentally tremble when he thought of the three gloomy governors who were high in the White Tiger Hall.

The Wheel King sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, and said softly: "Gongsun Zhongmou broke the rules, so he must die, Daomen and the imperial court are no different in this regard, even if they do not hesitate to temporarily close the chess game, they must get rid of Gongsun Zhongmou." ”

He looked at Lu Shen, his deep gaze seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said flatly: "This is also your last chance to make up for it." ”

Lu Shen straightened up and did not speak.

The aura of blood and murder instantly filled the entire carriage.

However, the source of the murderous aura was not Lu Shen, but from the blood-colored armored man beside him.

Lu Shen couldn't hide his heavy twilight, and said weakly: "Back then, Emperor Wuzu left twelve blood guards in the prison, and after being improved by King Wei, the power was even stronger than back then. Because of the increasing tension in the northwest, Fu Dudu specially handed over one of them to me. ”

The Wheel King nodded slightly, not surprised.

Lu Shen stretched out his hand and removed the seal on the forehead of the Blood Guard.

The next moment, the Blood Guard of the Prison Suppression smashed through the carriage and began to run wildly, like a dazzling scarlet that swept through the heavens and the earth.
